And one more clarification.
IMarketBillingService is not the billing service's class name, hence,
the service can't be started or bound by using that class. It's the name
of an interface that this service exposes, and only comes into play
after the service has been bound.
However, this is irrelevant, because the code quoted by Gustavo from the
billing reference, as well as code in the dungeons & potions sample,
both use an implicit intent with an action string.
Besides, the code for binding to the billing service here is wrong:
http://developer.android.com/guide/market/billing/billing_integrate.html#billing-service
The difference between wrong (online docs) and working (sample sources)
intents is the action's value.
Online docs use the class name, "com.android.....IMarketBillingService",
as the action string, whereas the correct code uses a different
constant, which has the value "com.android...BIND".
The latter works for me with Market 2.3.4, the former does not, exactly
the same way (bindService returns false).
I hope they straighten it out before officially launching the service.

That is not necessarily true... Explicit intents work even if the
class is not in your application as long as you specify both the
package name and the class name.
I use this methodology for my task switching app, AppSwipe!, which is
available for free on the Android Market.

Gustavo - see dungeons & potions sample code here:
http://developer.android.com/guide/market/billing/billing_integrate.html#billing-download
The correct code for binding to Market billing service is in
BillingService.java, see method bindToMarketBillingService().
PS - I believe you copied your code from the online documentation.
Looks wrong to me.
